Sodium chloride is made up of sodium and chlorine but isn't a poisonous gas and it doesn't explode in waterExplain why?

When these substances are chemically combined to form table salt, it has its own properties. It did not keep the sodium or chlorine's properties.

How does chlorine explode when mixed with water?
Chlorine doesn't explode when mixed with water. Pool water has chlorine in it. I think you meant sodium mixed with water, which does explode.
What is the gas produced when sodium reacts with water?
Sodium metal is very reactive and would explode when in contact with water and produce hydrogen gas.
Why isn't sodium chloride poisonous and doesn't explode in water?
the more reactive the things that make up a compound are, the less reactive the compound is, generally- this is an ionic reaction. As sodium is a Alkali metal, and Chlorine is a Halide, they're both very effective at reacting with each other, producing salts. Because anything that reacts with salt has to displace one of these elements, it's a fairly unreactive compound. - from luv vu @ yahoo.com
What happens when you put chlorine and sugar water together?
If you put the powdered chlorine and sugar water into an air tight container, such as a plastic soda bottle, it will explode.
Can chlorine bleach fumes explode?
Answer#1No. Chlorine (though deadly) is non-flammable. Pure chlorine can, however react explosively with certain metals. Much the same way metallic sodium reacts with water. BOOM!
How does chlorine explode when mixed with water?

How do the elements sodium and chlorine differ from the table salt they form?
Sodium is a highly reactive metal that can explode if placed in water. Chlorine is a highly poisonous gas that has been used to kill soldiers in chemical warfare. When combined however, they create sodium chloride - common table salt. Salt is edible and dissolves easily and safely in water.

Why does sodium chloride explode in water?
it explodes because in the sodium chloride there are gases,chemical gases which forces it to explode.
What is mineral up of?
Raw minerals are just rocks which contain chemical elements. In terms of human nutrition, minerals are just chemical elements in a form that are usable by humans. Elements may be in compounds to help carry them into the body. For instance, the body needs sodium, but we usually get it in the form of sodium chloride. Raw sodium is volatile when exposed to water (don't want it to explode in your mouth or stomach), and chlorine is a poisonous gas. Yet, salt doesn't explode nor poison you when consumed in reasonable amounts. The chlorine gives salt its taste, making it desirable enough to consume enough. When chlorine is bound to sodium in sort of a lattice formation, the sodium doesn't react to water, and the chlorine doesn't poison you.
Why don't sodium and chlorine combined form a poisonous gas or explode?
the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine is violent but produces common salt. Why is NaCl not a gas under nomal conditions? Because it is ionic and forms a high melting crystal rather than molecules.
Do nuclear bombs make the air poisonous after they explode?
yes
What is the gas produced when sodium reacts with water?

Why is it necessary to cool the filtrate before adding the methylene chloride?
It will explode if you don't!

What is the element of NaCI?
i assume you are saying NaCl. It is a compound since it has two elements in it namely sodium and chlorine. An element however is an uncombined substance like only sodium
